Qualification -
Unit of Competency CPPACC5003A - Apply anthropometric principles to accessible building design and fitout
Description This unit specifies the competency required to use knowledge of human anatomy and the skills required to determine human body size and shape and apply this information to the design of the environment in which people live and work.The unit covers the application of basic data on the spread of body measurements of the human population, and requires the use of basic statistical techniques in analysing and interpreting this data. It includes the measurement of the components of body size and shape of individual persons, and the application of this data to the design of an accessible environment required by the individual.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency supports a number of access consulting services associated with the design and fitout of accessible buildings and the accessibility of the built environment.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Determine the spread of body dimensions within a defined population.
  • Key anatomical features of the human body are identified accurately.
  • Appropriate methodology for measuring key anatomical features is selected.
  • Anthropometric data is recorded in a recognised format appropriate for retrieval and statistical analysis in accordance with organisational requirements.
       
Element: Analyse anthropometric data from a defined population and determine the statistical variations involved.
  • Basic statistical analysis of data is applied to determine population variance.
  • Statistical parameters derived by appropriate analysis are reported in accordance with organisational requirements.
  • The analysis of findings is documented and reported using recognised statistical formats in accordance with organisational requirements.
       
Element: Compare anthropometric data used in published architectural design documents with anthropometric data derived through measurement of a defined population.
  • Published architectural design data is compared and verified against recent anthropometric data derived through measurement of a defined population.
  • Anthropometric data that proves different to published architectural design data is analysed to assess the extent of difference, possible causes for the difference and likely consequences of altering published architectural design data.
       
Element: Identify the critical anthropometric features impacting on the ability of a person with a disability to work and function.
  • The level of functioning of the person with a disability is determined in consultation with the client.
  • Anthropometric features relevant to the ability of the person with a disability to work and function independently are identified in consultation with the client using anthropometric methodology in accordance with organisational requirements.
  • Situations requiring specialist advice are identified and assistance is sought as required in accordance with organisational requirements.
  • Appropriate strategies for maximising the ability of the person with a disability to work and function independently are identified.
  • Identified strategies are communicated to the appropriate people for the design, construction and fitout of the client's premises.
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, the range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for this Training Package.

Overview of assessment

This unit of competency could be assessed on its own or as part of an integrated assessment activity involving other competencies relevant to the job function.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to provide evidence of:

recognising the needs and desires of people with disabilities to engage fully in all aspects of society, and their right to do so

interpreting accurately the impacts of the full range of disabilities and the limitations that each disability places on the individual's ability to access the environment

interpreting accurately how the full range of environmental barriers impacts on any of the impairments that people with disabilities might have

measuring anatomical features and recording anthropometric data accurately in preparation for analysis

analysing anthropometric data using appropriate statistical methodologies

conducting comparative analysis between anthropometric data derived from a defined population and published architectural design data

identifying accurately anthropometric features that impact on the ability of a person with disabilities to work and function independently

applying organisational management policies and procedures, including quality assurance requirements.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Resource implications for assessment include:

a registered provider of assessment services

competency standards

assessment materials and tools

suitable assessment venue/equipment

workplace documentation

candidate special requirements

cost and time considerations.

Validity and sufficiency of evidence requires that:

competency will need to be demonstrated over a period of time reflecting the scope of the role

where the assessment is part of a structured learning experience the evidence collected must relate to a number of performances assessed at different points in time and separated by further learning and practice with a decision of competence only taken at the point when the assessor has complete confidence in the person's competence

all assessment that is part of a structured learning experience must include a combination of direct, indirect and supplementary evidence

where assessment is for the purpose of recognition (RCC/RPL), the evidence provided will need to be current and show that it represents competency demonstrated over a period of time

assessment can be through simulated project-based activity and must include evidence relating to each of the elements in this unit.
